Modems can have anywhere from one to eight local area network (LAN) ports. An Ethernet cable is used to connect these ports to your router and any network devices (personal computer, POS system, etc.). This can be set up in various configurations depending on the number of LAN ports on the modem.

• Multiple LAN Port Modem: This modem can connect directly to both the Shift4 TP-Link router and your personal router.
• Single LAN Port Modem: This modem only allows one router to be connected directly to it, and other routers may have to be hooked up to each other. In this case, connect the Shift4 router to an open port on the router or switch closest to the modem.
